Over 1 million Red Army soldiers gave their lives for you to rid the world of nazism in 1942/3. Never, ever forget their sacrifice.

I really love that statue. So much soviet art out there.

As an artist I run in abstraction and stuff, but I really would love a decent style guide to how the soviets made their art - especially their more stylistic propaganda. If anybody knows, maybe i can use my last canvas (i'm a broke girl) to make something honoring the hard carry of ww2 against fascism, so reply @ me with your best soviet style guides since this post is adjacent to soviet art!!!!!

It's called Socialist Realism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_realism I don't think there are many published materials in English
